Model Lauren Chan is recognized as the first out lesbian to appear on the cover of Sports Illustrated's annual swimsuit issue. Celebrated for her commitment to representation and inclusion, Chan, who made her debut in 2023, emphasizes her role in advocating for marginalized communities, particularly within the LGBTQ and AAPI populations. Her cover features a green bikini by the inclusive brand Cult Gaia, and she shares insights on embracing beauty beyond traditional norms, particularly liberating herself from societal standards.
My whole career has been based on representation and inclusion... to represent people like me who have felt marginalised and left out.
I would never look at a woman and think that because she doesn't meet some bull***t standard of beauty, she's unattractive.
